Meaford firefighters responded to a general alarm at the Meaford Hospital on Tuesday afternoon (October 30).
At approximately 1:30 p.m. firefighters received a call that an alarm was sounding at the hospital. Members of the department attended the scene to investigate the matter.
Several fire trucks and department vehicles were at the front entrance to the hospital. Hoses from one of the department's pumper trucks were connected to the hospital's water system as a precaution.
Firefighters, along with hospital maintenance staff, investigated the matter and determined that it was a false alarm that was sounding.
Chief Mike Molloy signaled to firefighters at the scene that it was an "all clear" situation and that the hospital's alarm panel had been reset.
Firefighters departed from the hospital approximately 30 minutes after the call came in.
